12 Trashiest Films Ever Made
8. White Fire (1984)
If youre looking for a Turkish-Italian-French-US co-production that caters to incest fantasies, look no further. Swiping an idea from Vertigo, White Fire is all about one mans obsession with a dead woman and the trouble that ensues when he meets her doppelganger.
In Vertigo, the woman was a stranger, but here shes the heros sister, and their relationship is best described as complicated. Not content with watching little sister go skinny-dipping, he steals her towel when she hits the showers. Then he looks her over and says, Its a pity youre my sister.
Imagine his glee when she dies and our hero, in the very next scene, meets her exact double. Naturally, wants her to take his sisters place. Naturally, she agrees. She even consents to surgery to enhance the resemblance, which seems to consist of changing her hair and clothes. Then she falls in love, somewhat inexplicably considering his penchant for pink neckerchiefs.
